The Wu Tower in the west was one floor lower than the Wen Tower. This caused a large group of old warriors, who had been scolded by the Liyang imperial court as the old men of Beiliang, to gather together and curse. They all said that it must be His Royal Highness's rotten idea. Otherwise, the Great General wouldn't have slapped the old faces of his subordinates like this! There were many mountains in Beiliang. Other than the two old generals, Yan Wenluan and Zhong Hongwu, most of the young and strong generals under Chen Zhibao had left Beiliang for Western Shu. However, many of the old generals from the previous generation had a close relationship with Chen Zhibao. Most of them had the title of general above them. They only had their families to feed, so they wouldn't cause trouble and choose to stay in Beiliang. Other than these three mountains, there were also the Great General's adopted son and many old generals who had retired from the cavalry and infantry. These old generals couldn't be compared to the group of generals who had been given the title of general. They still had many branches and leaves in the Beiliang Army and had a deep foundation. The Wu Tower was originally arranged according to seniority like the Wen Tower. Those with high positions would stand on the tall buildings. However, it was a bit strange today. A one-armed old man with the surname Lin who drove an ox-cart out of seclusion didn't want to go up the tower. Many of the old men of the same age who had been through life and death with him didn't want to go upstairs to show off their power. They surrounded the first commander of the Lotus Seed Camp, Lin Doufang.
Although Lin Doufang had resigned and lived in seclusion after following the Xu family to Beiliang and had been a nameless field sheweng for almost twenty years, everyone knew that Lin Doufang and the Great General had been through life and death together. Moreover, they had almost become relatives by marriage. In addition, when the old soldier respectfully sent the Crown Prince to the capital, Lin Doufang had also appeared outside Liangzhou City. At that time, the ox-cart old man, the former Youzhou General "Jin Partridge" Zhou Kang, and the Commander Yuan Nanting who controlled most of the White Feather Cavalry were also among them. Lin Doufang had always been popular in the Xu family's army. After he had resigned, there were no more conflicts in the officialdom. This time, his "retirement" seemed even better. Even some of the old generals who were not familiar with him back then were happy to chat with him. Even Liu Yuanji, who had retired from his high position as the Deputy Commander of the Infantry, and Wei Tieshan, who had just vacated the Deputy Commander of the Cavalry last year, were no exception. This group of old fellows with illustrious military exploits had seniority, meritorious service, and family background, so they were especially outspoken when they talked. Compared to the genteel and sour atmosphere in the Wen Building, they were like heaven and earth. At this moment, Liu Yuanji was cursing His Royal Highness for not being sensible. It was fine that the Wu Building was five floors higher, but it was actually one floor lower than the Wen Building. Wasn't this deliberately embarrassing these old fellows who had fought for Beiliang?
Liu Yuanji had retired from his position for a few years, and he was also famous for his impatience and uncouth temperament. Hearing his curses, all the old men around him, without exception, smiled knowingly. Wei Tieshan, who had just left Beiliang's army for less than a year, was much more reserved. He didn't even respond.
Once Liu Yuanji rolled up his sleeves and cursed, even the country's shrew would have to retreat. Especially after drinking, he dared to spit on General Xu Xiao's face. Of course, General Xu Xiao was so angry that he was whipped and thrown out of the tent to drink the northwest wind. At that time, General Xu Xiao, who didn't look like an old man, was also stubborn. After being thrown out of the tent by General Xu Xiao, he refused to go back to the tent to rest. He sat on the ground and continued to curse. When he was tired, he fell asleep on the ground and snored like thunder. In Liu Yuanji's words, "I don't want to be angry with General Xu Xiao, and I don't dare to. I will use my snoring to disturb General Xu Xiao's sleep!" Liu Yuanji was still angry after cursing His Royal Highness for half an hour. He wanted to use His Royal Highness' bullying of Huaihua General Zhong Hongwu in Longqing County as an excuse. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Wei Tieshan curling his lips and winking at him. Just when he was puzzled, he was punched hard. Liu Yuanji was stunned. He turned around and was punched in the face again. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Liu Yuanji finally saw that it was Old Man Lin's dirty trick. Liu Yuanji was so angry that he immediately punched Lin Duofang's head back. He cursed, "Lin, I've wanted to beat you for a long time. What did you tell me?! You said that you wanted to kill the northern barbarians with me. We were born in the same year, month, and day. There's no difference between us. We'll say that whoever kills more barbarians will be the big brother. You'll be a coward when you get to Beiliang! Also, when you planned to elope with the Princess of Southern Tang, who was the one who kept watch for you? What's wrong? I cursed His Royal Highness a few times. Did I get in your way, Lin Duofang?! It's none of your business! You're just a coward. I don't know where you've been hiding. You haven't touched a blade for twenty years. What right do you have to call me brother?! "
The two old men were immediately pulled apart by the other old men beside them. While Liu Yuanji was cursing, Lin Duofang, who was tied up, kicked Liu Yuanji a few more times. He said angrily, "Liu San 'er, what you did with me was a mess. I owe you. I'll be your slave in my next life. If you blink, I'll be your grandson. Don't you f * cking drag His Royal Highness into this! Fine, you cursed His Highness. Then I'd like to ask you. When you were whipped and thrown outside by the Grand General so many times, who was the one who secretly brought you good wine to drink? Who was the one who listened to you telling those bullshit stories for the whole night? Who was the one who personally told me that the Grand General had a good son and even said that he would marry a few daughters to that kid in the future? Liu San 'er, you Liu San' er! Now that you've become the Deputy Commander of the Infantry Army, you think you're so great? Don't think that I don't know that your son has taken over a few government saltpans. He's not just making a lot of money every day. Not to mention saltpans, he even dares to kill government soldiers. You, Liu San 'er, are amazing. You have three sons who are even more powerful than His Highness. His Highness only killed the King of Jing An and Zhao Heng's cavalry in Qingzhou. He also killed the Fifth Raccoon of Tibing Mountain in Beimang. He never dares to kill the people of Beiliang! Liu San 'er, do you believe that I'll go to the Grand General and ask for an official position? I won't do anything but kill those bastards of yours who call me Godfather!! "
The old general, who was called Liu San 'er, was stunned. Then he became furious and scolded, "Bullsh * t! Lin, tell me clearly, who killed the soldiers of the Salt Household and the Armor Household? My son wouldn't do such a heinous thing! "
Lin Doufang somehow got the strength to break free from the pull of Wei Tieshan and the other old men. He punched Liu Yuanji's face again. "The whole of Beiliang knows. Only you, an old fool with bad eyesight, don't know!"
The ground floor of the martial arts building instantly became silent.
Liu Yuanji looked around. Wei Tieshan was still calm and silent. Many old men avoided the gaze of this "Liu San 'er". Finally, Deputy Commander Liu's lips couldn't stop trembling. He waved his arms and didn't want anyone to help him. He sat down on the ground and panted heavily.
Lin Doufang was still angry. He wanted to step forward and kick Liu Yuanji. Fortunately, Wei Tieshan hurriedly held him back. Only then did they manage to stop the old man who built the Lotus Seed Camp.
The scene inside the building was enough to stun any outsider.
